To Gravel Broadway 

At a met'tiiig of the Town oouii* 
nil held last Thursday the mill rate 
oil farm lands for acliool ptirpones 
was reduced from 13 mills to 10 in 
accordative with the requirements 
of the new Towns Act. To ofTaet 
this reduction an inoi'easu in valu> 
atioii will bo made to maintain the 
former amount of taxes collected. 


Although the council reached no 
definite deciaioii to gravel Broad* 
way, the general fbeling waa that 
this will be done. A decision will 
probably be reached at the next 
meeting. It waa pointed out that 
the town will realize $2000 from 
the sale of streets to be closed in 
the west part of (own, and it was 
suggeste<l that tliie money be used 
to gravel our main atreet. 


A letter from Canadian Sugar 
Factories I.imited requested that 
repairs be made on tho road near 
the elevators. A committee will 
re|iort on tho amount of work ne¬ 
cessary. 


Koxt Monday will see the grand 
re-opening of the Opera House, 
which has been closed for several 
weeks while extensive repairs 
were being made. The main im¬ 
provement has been made on' the 
oeiliug, which is now covered with 
a metal panelling of a light blue 
shade. Each arch is adorned with 
red, white and blue lamps, which 
give a must effective appearance. 
The back stage has been kalao- 
miued iu dark blue. Walls of the 
main hail liavs been replaetered 
where necessary. Everything will 
be in readiness for the big dance 
next Monday evening, and crowds 
from all points of the compass are 
expected. The event is being 
widely advertised and undoubtedly 
Southern Alberta’s spring-floor 
dance hall will be filled to capacity. 
The house directors deserve great 
credit for the enterprising spirit 
shown in spending the sum of 
83000 in improvements. Dancing 
next Monday evening will com- 
meuoe at 8:30 and will continue 
until 1 o’clock. The Premier Or¬ 
chestra, of 6 pieces, will furuish 
the music. 


An hour and a half was apent 
in diacuosiiig a new atray pound

who earnestly desires to keep the

Solicitor Ostlund's advice will be 
asked regarding a new bylaw-

Story Of Epic Flight 
From Ireland To The 
Shores Of Canada 


Ixinp Point. — Captain llrrmnnn 
Kophl, Krelborr Von HucnnfoUI, and 
Major tJnm^s Fltrmniirlcc, found the 
ufaihor forecaati! were favorable for 
the Rtart from Riildonncl Field, near 
Dublin, and decided to leave Thura- 
tlay morning. 

The Hremen waa flying for 58 
houra, notwlthatanding the Inconvcn- 
IcnccH of changing lempornture, 
which forced the ’plane to My gen¬ 
erally very low. 

The weather commenced to be- 
« ome very alarming us Uicy were ap¬ 
proaching the Newfoundland coast in 
a \ery thick fog. Hut .shortly the fog 
went dowm and cleared os the night 
was coming •on. 

They w'cre getting nearer and near¬ 
er to the land that has so much in¬ 
fluence on the magnetic compu».*i and 
Is known a.H the danger point for the 
aviators. 

Snow then started, blowm by strong 
winds and accompanied at intervals 
by sleet, threatening at every mo¬ 
ment to add the Bremen to the aerial 
di.sasters of the North Atlantic. 

The fliers realized that the storm 
would influence the direction their 
machine was taking, but in spite of 
the very bad flying conditions and al¬ 
though their gas was running lower 
and lower, they did not lose courage. 

They decided to keep on with an 
endeavor to get their bearings and 
go through to their destination. Af¬ 
ter about 20 minutes they could tell 
that they were flying over land, but 
in the blizzard they could see so little 
of its formation that it was impossl- 
hie to take bearings. 

Nevertheless, they were cheered by 
the realization that they had at hieved 
victory and It gave them courage and 
strength to go on. 

Battling for many hours through 
the stoini. they discovered at 5.35 
Friday afternoon a small lake in the 
centre of a little island alKUit half a 
mile long and decided to land on it. 

As the ship w'ns not equipped with 
l>ontoona or skis, needed in this coun¬ 
try for landing gear, the shock on the 
undercarriage of landing W’as more 
severe than they pxi>ccted It would 
be. Tliey smashed the Ice under the 
ehip an they (leei'encied and aURhtly 
damaged the tail, but the three avia¬ 
tors came out without any injuries, 
arriving on Panudian soil as .safe as 
they embarked on the Bremen nearly 
two days before. 

Greenly Island, on which they land¬ 
ed, is situated three mile.s from the 
coast directly opposite the little vil¬ 
lage of Dong Point on Blanc Sablon. 

The aviators reported that they 
had found a great hospitality on the 
part of these citizens of Long Point 
and also have been provided with the 
material necessary to repair the un¬ 
dercarriage of the Bremen.

of C'ommons. 

Hon. P. J. Cardin, minister of mk-1 
fine and lisheHcs, replied that he hail 
already nnsweteU a similar question. 
In view of this fact, and also because 
he proposed later to make a state¬ 
ment on the matter, he thought the 
question might be dropped. Mr. 
Spencer objected and said he would 
prefer to have the question stand on 
the order paper. 

J. S. Woodsworth (Labor, Winni¬ 
peg North CentreV declared that the 
minister had given no reason at all 
for refusing to renevv these licenses. 
He failed to see why the minister I 
should not answer the question. Mr.

would remain on the order paper.

Winnipeg. Resembling more a 
large parly of tourists from the Old 
(^)untry with cameras and fishing 
outfits in solid leather rases hanging 
from their shoulders, some 400 new 
settlers from the British Isles arrived 
In Winnipeg last week over f’nnadlnn 
Pacific lines to take up agricultural 
work In the Western provinces. 

The party, one of the largest nll- 
Brllish to arrive In the West for 
some time, were discharged at St. 
John from the S.S. Montcalm and i 
proceeded here by special train. I 

Oul.«itanding in the party was n 
group of 32 young British lads in 
their middle 'teens who were brought 
out to the Dominion under the aus¬ 
pices of the Agricultural Department 
of the Manitoba Government. 

They were met on arrlvKl at the

Endorses Hudson’s Bay Route

j Exptori'r 

I Montreal. Favorable endorsation 
of the Hudson’s Bay route was given 
here by Captain Joseph K Bernier, 
i noted Arctic e.xplorer, in an addre.ss 
! before a local service club. There was | 
a problem on the horizon, he said, ■ 
which Montreal and Uit* Dominion as 
a whole would have to face in future 
years. 

As the population of the country 
grew and the trade of Canada in¬ 
creased, the port of Montreal was 
bound to obtain a congested condition 
and then Canada must look lo the 
Hudson's Bay to provide another en¬ 
trance and outlet. 

Coupled with this proT^lem, he re¬ 
marked that the waters of the St. 
Lawrence were receding and he felt 
that if tlie large liners were going 
to be able to dock at Montreal there 
must be a danunlng up of the wa¬ 
ters of the river to maintain the 
necessary level.

New York. Three daring aviators, 
two Germans and one Irishman, have 
done what was apparently almost 
Impossible they have crossed iho 
Nortli Atlantic Ocean in storm and 
sleet from East to West, the first 
airmen lo make that venturosonio 
flight. 

The ('roimnn Junker.s ’plane Bre¬ 
men, a single motor* .nhip. bearing 
Capt. Herman Koehl, Ool. James 
Fltzmaurlce and Baron Gunther Yon 
Huenefeld, landed on the barren ice¬ 
bound Greenly Island In the Straits 
of Belle Isle, seven miles off the Que¬ 
bec mainland. 

This climax to one of the most 
sen.satinnal ocean flights since Alcork 
and Brown made the first non-slop 
topsy-turvy passage the other way, 
came at a time when everyone had 
given up hope for the safety of tlie 
fliers. They were hours overdue. Not 
a woid had been heard from them 
slnee they loft Ireland. When the 
final hours, marking the time that 
their fuel was exiiausted. <1rew across 
Mltchel Field there were nuuiy in the 
silent, gloomy throng who were near 
tears, 'riiere were the representatives 
of the Junkers’ f^unpany. Mis.s Ber¬ 
tha Junkers among them; there wora 
relatives of the gallant Koehl and tlie 
dashing Fltzmaurlce. They cast long¬ 
ing glance.s at the sky and then turn¬ 
ed away. 

And then came the wireless flash 
from out of the Ice-bound north that 
the 'plane had landed, that the flieii 
were not only again on land but were 
safe and there were celebrations. How 
did they get there? Why were they so 
lute? The mystery was as great as 
ever, but It was a mystery that for 
the moment gave place to rejoicing 
that they had done what the brave 
crows of throe other planes had tail¬ 
ed lo do, and that Uiey had escaped 
with their lives from that sullen 
tiling, whatever it may be, which 
broods over the North Atlantic and 
snatches 'planes from the air. 

There has always l>een the possi¬ 
bility that a 'plane coming this way 
might get lost in the snow nnd storm 
, of the ocean and strike land soine- 
I where in Labrador. It was thought 
j that Nungesser and Coii niigiit 
blindly have found tlieir way there 
nearly a year ago. It was thought 
that Capt. Leslie IlninlUon and H. P. 
MInchin, with the Princess Lowen- 
steln-Wortheim might have reached 
the wa.stes of that northern coast and 
disappeared from view, or that later 
Capt. Walter Hinchliffe and the Hon. 
El.sic MacKay may nave landed in 
the snow. Hut none of these hopes 
wa.s ever justified.

over one hundred pieces of part- 
muale, ranging through prattlleally 
every style and taking in folk-Hongs 
of England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales 
and America, with both sacred and 
secular music, the Westminster Glee 
Singers are now engaged in a tour of 
(.'anada that will be a dellgiit to 
musie-lovcrs. They are singing in 
the Dominion under the patronage of 
His Excellency, the Govcrnor-Gi'ueral 
of Canada, and have recently com¬ 


pleted tours of Australia. New Ze.i-

people in the Piazza Guillo ('esare 
while tlic king was making a tilum-

uiien the Milan fair. He made biicf 
stops at historic points along the 
routes and reached the scene of the 
explosion ten minutes after it occur¬ 
red. lie was about ten miniiles late in 
his schedule. 

Most of the killed were blown lo 
pieces. The infernal machine, rom- 
poHcd of a tube filled with high ex¬ 
plosives and controlled by a time 
clock, had been concealed inside the 
base of a lamp post. 

Tcrilfle havoc was wrought nnd 
Ihcie was a scene of terror and con¬ 
fusion when the sovereign appeared 
accompanied by his suite and the 
uumicipul (tuthorltles. The Ix>die8 of

turn consumers against milk more, 
than dirt. The same consumer prefer¬

m*l seem to have rcalired the neces¬

A very interesting coniiucntary on

"Dirty eggs.** said Mr. Smith, ‘‘are

Germany’s Long 
Range Gun 

Secret Of “Big Bertha” Only 
Clever Job Of Gun Building 

The mystery of the "Big Bertha" 
which struck terror Into tho hearts 
of tho Allies ten years ago has been 
revealed by Uio Army Bureau of 
Ordnance. 

Since the close of the World War. 
historians have spoken of the long 
range gun which shelled Parts as the 
"great mystery of the war." Only n 
few American Army officers knew 
the real secret—which after all, wa^ 
only a clever Job of gun building 

In the flIoA of the Bureau of 
Ordnance is a complete description 
of the big gTin, its projectiles, Its 
emplacement, all of which are ac¬ 
companied by pictures. A few years 
ago a former Herman artillery officer 
offered to sell to the War Depart¬ 
ment a blueprint of the "Big Bertha" 
design. Ilcpartment officials told him 
they could not afford to pay his prico 
- and they didn't need to, becaiuie all 
details of the gun are available for 
use If needed. 

Tho "Big Bertha" w'ns a master 
cannon, bigger, longer and more 
powerful than any built before or 
likely to be built again. Its main 
features, ns disclosed by the Ord 
nance Bureau, were as follows: 

1. The ma.ster gun was built for 
the shelling of Paris only. 

2. It was recunstruted from w'orn 
out flftecn-inch naval cannon. 

3. It was built first for 8.27 inch 
shells and, after being worn, was re- 
bored for 9.45 inch shells. 

4 It was built in two sections, the 
main section 9R.5 feet long and Uih 
forward section J9.7 feet. 

5. Tho gun weighed SiR.OOu 
pounds. 

G. The shell left the muzzle at » 
velocity of nearly a mile a second. 

7. The projectiles weighed 204 
pounds each and were approximately 
six and one-half feet long, including 
the fuse cap. 

8. Tho maximum range was sev¬ 
enty-six miles more than twice os 
fur as the most i>owcrful gun of to¬ 
day and the projectiles had to reach 



an uitiUidc of twenty-four miles to 
cover its maximum distance. 

hcven such guns were built during 
the course of the war. Three were 
being built at Uie time of the Armis¬ 
tice. American ordnance officers in¬ 
spected them at an Austria gun fac 
tury. 

According to War Department In 
formation, the guns were transporle<i 
in tw'o sections on a specially con 
strucled railw’ay mount. A special 
crane had to be erected to mount 
them on tlielr emplacements. They 
were mobile only in the fact they 
I could be quickly taken apart and 
moved back. The emplacements 
^were of steel, reinforced by concrete

tapes’ covering on the egg should not, 
be removed. 

"Dirty egg.s," said Mr. Hray, 
should never b<* washtni If they arc 
to I)c sold and inarkettsj through the. 
regular channels. Every farmer; 
knows that the egg Is wet when laid., 
This moisture, or mucous, dries on i 
the shell and serves the purpose of 
filling the pores of the shell without 
.sealing them, thus fdtering ;iny all 
that may pass through. The shell It- 
iielf with its Iw'o inner membrnncH 
forms the protective wall of the egg 
and by washing the eggs one will re- ■ 
move the gelatinous coating on the 
shell which ticrves as a protection foi 
the contents. When this coating is re-' 
moved the eggs have a tendency to | 
deteriorate faster. esi»ecially if they I 
are placed In storage. I 

■'(’IcanUness of shell effects the 
quality of the egg directly, that is, 
If the egg is clean it will hold up bel¬ 
ter in storage than a dirty or stained 
egg. CleanllncsA' affects the prices 
alao. The (.'anadiun Fgg Stiindard.s 
require that Fre.di Kxtras lx* clean 
and Fresh Firsts reasojiably clean, so 
that if prodncer.s market dirty or 
stained eggs they must be sold cither

cure/* ffayfl the Kev. l>r, Henry von 
Dyke, of l^rlnccon, N..T., formerly ] 
United Htntes Minister tn the Noth

Dr. von Dyke «et forth three cures | 
since the first cause of war lies in 
the human heart xirlgfinal Bin, paS' ’ 
sion unreelralned, ffelflshnrsa un¬ 
bridled. The first element of cure la I 
preventive hy^^lene of mind, heart, 
education, religion, philosophy, one' 
and all, (k>d over all woild wel¬ 
fare. ! 

“The second element of cure for 
war is a reduction of competitive 
amiamcntfl. They are supposed to 
be the protection of peace, but 19H 
proved that they arc temptations to 
war. 

“Tho third clement In the cure cf 
war is tile provision and use of peace¬ 
ful means of setUing disputes be¬ 
tween nations. The two old means 
were diplomacy and conference. They 
often proved usefu\ but they flome- 
times failed. Tho two new mcann 
are the League of Nations and the 
World <7onrl. 

“It is astounding, incredible, that

While Uie coAtrlbuUons to agricul¬ 
ture from scientists ond plant breed¬ 
ers have lieen many and important In 
recent yearn, the development of 
Marquis Wheat has been by far the 
most outstanding. Its'introduction in¬ 
to C.'anodian agriculture marked a 
new epoch in tho agricultural and In¬ 
dustrial life of (*anada. and to some, 
extent In the United Hlates 

Marquis Wheat originated from a' 
cross made in 1892 at the Canadian ^ 
Government f Central F:xpcrlmental 
Farm, Oitawa, between an early ma¬ 
turing variety obtained in India under | 
the name of Hard Red (*alculla, and 
the leading Canadian wheat, Ued 
Fife. It was developed by I>r. (diaries 
flaunders, of OUawa, who, on hiff re¬ 
tirement a few ycar.s ago, was given 
an annuity by the Canadian Ctovern- 
ment of $ri,000 a year In recognition 
of his great contribution to agricul¬ 
ture. Ho is still living tn tho Canadian 
Capital. 

Tho chief points which distinguinh 
Marquis are Its ability to inatiiro 
from six to ton days earlier than Hod 
Fife; greater strength of straw than 
the latter variety; its greater resis¬ 
tance to stem rust; and Us greater 
productiveness. It is probably safe 
to say that no now cereal variety 
thus far introihiccd anywhere has ex¬ 
celled in so many points or has taken 
the place of other varieties over so 
wide an area. Ky 1915. only six or 


seven year.'! after its 


Introduction. I 
Marquis had taken the lea<t over ail 
other varieties throughout the wheat¬ 
growing areas of the western prov¬ 
inces. which lead It Increancd so rap¬ 
idly that within ten or twelve years 
from its first Introduction it is credit-1 
ed with having occupied not less than j 
90 per rent, of all the spring wheat j 
area In the Dominion. I-^ven in the! 
United States, Marquis Is conceded to] 
be the most generally grown spring 
wheat variety, occupying In that 
country between CO and 70 per cent, 
of the entire spring wiieat area. 

It must also be remembered that 
the advent of Marquis has made It 
possible to grow' a high yielding, high 
quality w'heat in many districts in 
which wheat might not have been at¬ 
tempted, or if attemxited would have 
yielded much less, and, in many cases 
would have been of lower quality and 
grade. While, as may naturally be ex¬ 
pected, Marquis may have to give 
way in certain districts to other va¬ 
rieties which prove better adapted to 
meet the conditions which prevail 
, there, yet at the pre.scnt lime Mar- 
j quis reigns supreme as a “general” 

I variety. It ts also Interesting to note 
I that practically all varieties of com- 
! mon spring wheat wiilch conrend for 
a place in Western Canada are more 
or less closely related to Marquis, 
from which they have Inherited some 
of their major virtues.

purpose of serving the whole empire,

Baby's Own Tablets Have Many 
Uses and Are Absolutely 
I Harmless 

To have In the house a simple, 
harmless remedy for the minor Ills of 
babies and little children Is a great 
boon to young mothers, and this Is 
exactly why Baby’s Own Tablets 
have been found In thousands of 
households. The Tablets regulate the 
stomach and bowels, break up colds 
and simple fevers, allay the Irritation 
of cutting teeth, yet they have no 
drug taste and the children like them. 

Concerning the Tablets Mrs. Hutli- 
ven Crommiller, Ruthven, Ont., 
writes:—"Kindly send me your little 
book on the Care of the Baby, I have 
two children, one four years of ago 
and the other a year and a half. Both 
are In excellent health and the only 
medicine they have had Is Baby’s 
Own Tablets. I always keep the Tab¬ 
lets In the bouse and am happy to 
recommend them to other mothers.’’

medicine dealers or by mall at 25 cts.
